[Q] No service with Android 5, On Vodafone Germany. Any Ideas?

Hello xda-developers and thank you for reading this. I bought a new Nexus 5 today and flashed it with the original Google Lollipop ROM realeased some days ago. Everything runs fine so far but I can't get the service working. I've searched old threads to the best of my ability but couldn't find a solution, I hope you can. As said in the title I'm going with Vodafone Germany. Attached are some screenshots that hopefully give you all the information you need.
Thanks in advance!

No problem here with Vodafone Germany on my Nexus 5 running Android 5.0. Maybe your Sim Card is defect? Do you have another phone to test the Sim.

I tested the sim today on another phone, it works fine. I am currently testing different modems... I was hoping to avoid unlocking my brand new phone for a while but hey

Shouldn't be necessary to install another modem. Maybe it is a hardware defect? Do you have another Sim to test the Sim tray? Was it working on 4.4 before you flashed Lollipop?

I didn't test it before I installed Lollipop. It could be a Hardware defect (But I'd find that odd, I ordered it online and it runs perfect aside from the cell signal) I will return it if I get fed up with the issue, but that would mean no phone for another 3-4 days
Why do you think a different modem won't make a difference? A different SIM card did get a signal in Nexus when I asked for help in a vodafone shop I was if I recall correctly. But my SIM card also worked in another phone
Edit: I tested another SIM card just now, it showed service for a while with an exclamation mark (see attachment) but then went back to 0 bars
Edit 2: Also not working on Android 4.4.4

I'm not a developer, have you tried changing the preferred network type to wcdma only or gsm only in the phone testing menu?

I already tried the LPX13D Modem (from the list of different modems for the Nexus 5 by autoprime on xdadev, can't link to it because I have less than 10 posts...). Is the one you linked any different?

[LG G PRO 2- D838] Serious connevtivity issues after upgrading to loolipop and back

Hello Guys,
I'm deeply frustrated with this issue. I have a LG G PRO 2(LGD838) bought in HongKong a couple of weeks ago.
I recently upgraded, manually, to version 5.0.1 from KK and ever since, the internet connectivity has major issues.
Internet works often, even when it does, it works SO slow!
I flashed back to stock KK - v4.4.2 by using this .kdz file - D83810D_00.kdz
but problem remains!
PLEASE HELP ME!!
Thanks in advanced.
Nir.

the internet connectivity, is it mobile data or wifi?

Thanks for your reply Hattori Suzuki.
Mobile data only, WiFi works well.
It has to be something with the phones modem or something. Question is, how can I recover the original's phones modem?

You may ask someone who has the same phone model and still stay at stock KK rom to backup modem and give it to you.
Have you tried to insert your sim into another device to confirm it's not the mobile network issue?

You will need to download the correct mobile network settings from your service provider. In my country, these can be sent by text/service message and can be automatically installed. If I were you, I would have a word with your service provider about this.

I doubt it its the issue here as I configured 3G mobile settings through my service provider web site plus It's not the 1st time I do it.
1 more thing, I just remembered that prior upgrading to Lollipop, I generated a full phone report - and what I found written there is quite interesting - The same baseband version, Android version, Build number and software version I have now, I also had then. Thus, it might not be a modem issue.
Any other thoughts guys??
Thanks.

Guys, your assistance is highly appreciated!
Apparently, My stupid cellular provider has decided to block my 3g connection from one reason or another.
Thanks again!

LTE/WCDMA Auto Option in *#*#4636*#*# Phone Info

Hi Guys,
Before you ask I have googled for over 2 hours looking for anything that is close to my issue but I cannot find anything relating to the OnePlus One on this issue.
I am using International Version 3 of the OnePlus One.
I found the issue posted up on google code here.
https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=400
Essientially I do not have an option to select LTE/WCDMA Auto or only within this menu.
My carrier roams when it goes down to 2G and it is highly irritating when it does this, as a result I really need this option.
Other OnePlus owners seem to have it and I don't know why I don't.
I am currently running C7 Modem version on the latest version of the Resurrection Remix Rom.
I have seen the guide regarding Unlocking additional basebands for the Chinese Version also but I don't know if that will fix my problem either.
Any help would be great, Thanks.

The options in the service menu change per installed rom. Change your rom to find different options in the service menu.

OK well that's something at least thanks

Hi guys,
I have been searching for a ROM that has additional options in the Phone Info menu and have yet to find one.
Can anyone recommend a rom that has these options?

I don't have that option too. CM 13 sultan

Is this contingent on something else other than the rom?

Latest update broke my tethering on FRD-L19

So I just received the new update (B398) which also updated me to EMUI 5.0.1.
Now my tethering doesn't work. It turns on but only works for about 10 seconds and after that I'm unable to load any web pages until I reconnect to the phone again. Tested on Mac, Windows and an XBOX One.
Anyone else having the same issue or an idea on how to get it to work again?

Did you try factory reset or reset app setting preference?

Yes, both. Tethering is still not working. This is the european variant. Bought in Finland. Anyone else having the same issue?

I have also that problem with wifi hotspot and EMUI 5.0.1. Strange was that the problem did not occur while on one operator (Elisa, Fin) but a week ago after I changed to other operator (Telia, Fin) wifi hotspot did not work anymore. Other devices can still connect to Honor 8 hotspot, but connection is unusable. Huawei knows about the problem with the latest update and at their flagship store in Helsinki they instructed that it can be fixed with downgrading to emui 4.1. They weren't able to give any information about timetable fo fix. Maybe they haven't found the bug. I went back to 4.0.1 and tethering has been working, but that was not what I hoped. I hope they can fix the problem soon

Same here
Hi, I just bought a honor 8, also from Finland. It's running the same version of android and emui. Having the same problem in the phone. So if you figure out how to solve this I would appreciate it a lot! Has anyone tried the bluetooth tethering?

You need to contract Honor about this issue, them the details of the issue (build number, phone model..etc) hoping from them to work on an update

Which operator you are using? Was the Android 7 / Emui 5 on your phone when you bought it or did you update it after purchase?
I guess bluetooth tethering would work. I didn't try it, but I can confirm that usb tethering did work on Android 7 / Emui 5.

Honor (Huawei) does know about the problem but for some reason they have not been able or willing to solve the issue. I am so pissed at Honor I gonna drop by their flagshipstore today and bother them with some questions concerning the update
EDIT:
I dropped by the Huawei/Honor flagshipstore in Helsinki and they claimed that there should not be any problems with lates OTA update. This sounded strange since when I asked in November if the available update (B360) has fixed the wifi tethering, the answer was no. Well, I just took a leap of faith with update since the staff at flagshipstore said I could bring the phone to warranty service if there would be problem. To my surprise wifi tethering is now working on Emui 5.0 and Android 7. :good: It's bit strange that they don't have this version available at their website nor do they have any information concerning the problem or fix. My current firmware is FRD-L19C432B360.

Too bad, they're not taking their customers as a priority

Mi Mix3 VoWifi

Hi All,
Just wanted to check and see how is VoWifi (or wifi calling) working for you guys. I’m in Australia and has an Optus and Telstra sim in my mix 3. Phone is running the latest Xiaomi.eu rom.
I’ve search around google in general and found that to get VoWifi to work there is a need to swap the carrier profile on the Qualcomm chip which I’ve done. I have done did the *#*#VoWIFI*#*# code to disable carrier check. However I’m not able to get wifi calling working at all.
Thought I check in here and see if any of you have better luck and if there are any tricks that I’ve missed and needed to try.
Thanks

Hey guys, I just want to know that Mi Mix 3 support vowifi or not ? Or my carrier have to support that ?
I am confused

VoWifi works when on latest custom roms.

Which one does work? I could not find any confirmed VoWiFi for Mi Mix 3 yet.

Can't remember what rom it was but I have seen it somewhere.

VoWifi ("Anrufe über WLAN tätigen") is working fine for me - Vodafone Germany, Stock Global ROM. Also disabled the carrier check.

Thank you so much for your reply. I am from Germany as well and going with WinSim and it is not working. May I ask for the exact contract you got it running with?

I´m using Vodafone Red XS

Do you have mix 3 or mix 2 ? I am wondering that I have vowifi enable button on same setup page but I don't have volte enable button. Volte already enabled. My mix3 running with android 10 miui 11.0.3.0.
I found my answer Mix 3 support vowifi. But my carrier doesn't support for mix3 vowifi..

Unfortunately it is not that easy with the Mix 3. I have a simcard with working VoWifi in a Redmi Note 8 but with the Mix 3 VoWifi with the same simcard is not working. So it does not relate to the provider only for whatever reason.

Give this guide a try. Works fine for me on K-Classic (O2 Telefonica Germany) on the latest stable MIUI EU ROM. Just make sure to switch to "prefer WiFi" suboption after disabling carrier check and enabling VoWiFi. I also had to enable the profile twice on sub0 for some reason...
edit: seems that's the guide you followed even though you didn't explicitly mentioned it? You should test that your phone does not default to another profile as mentioned here

Appreciate your reply. I found a way to change the profiles without root because I did not want to root the phone. Heard many negative side effects like Google pay no longer working and Android Auto can stop working. I need both.
But with an app call shortcut maker in combination with mbnloader I was able to switch profiles. I stopped testing after a while and gave up. I went for another provider now and will see if it turns out to work with the new one. If someone got the same problem, here the mbnloader:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIBBAC&usg=AOvVaw1dWx3npHTnHOpt9a3WkMjo
After installing "shortcut maker" by android_rk from play store and the APK above, start the shortcut maker and go for activities - modem - mbnloader to select another profile.

Three UK. Sort of working on global 9, same on xiaomi.EU 10 rom. Every few days I have to turn it off and on again to connect, but once done works flawlessly for another few days. Had to use the *# code to disable carrier check, as Three UK doesn't officially support it on most phones.

Is it possible to de-root the phone afterwards? And would you mind helping me by pointing me to the right direction for preparing my phone for this guide? I am a beginner and I find it hard to find the easiest way to root my Mi Mix 3.

AFAIK you have to unlock your bootloader to root, there is no exploit.
You'll have to get the mi unlock tool and probably wait 48 hours to unlock the bootloader, then flash twrp followed by flashing magisk from within twrp. Just look in the device forums for guides.
You can de-root afterwards, but I doubt locking the bootloader will work, as entries have been tampered with. Google pay/some banking apps might refuse to work after that, btw. There is a patch to gpay though.
